Antigua

At just 14 miles long and 11 miles wide, it's safe to say that Antigua is a little slice of heaven floating in the Caribbean Sea. A luxury destination that's an amazing all-rounder, Antigua has beaches in abundance, warm waters that are perfect for paddling, and seemingly endless opportunities for inland adventures.

Despite its size, there's a resort for every holidaymaker on the island. Postcard-perfect Long Bay is the place for romantic escapes, whereas Dickenson Bay is a little livelier, with the sound of steel drums in the air and revellers kicking off their shoes to dance on the beach!

More about Antigua

Whichever resort you choose, Antigua's coastline is well worth further exploration. In fact, you'll find a staggering 365 beaches just waiting to be discovered! Equally impressive are the turquoise waters that provide a playground for holidaymakers. Swim, surf, sail or snorkel - there's no end of activities to help you make the most of your amazing position on the edge of the clear Caribbean. If adventures on dry land float your boat, the lush rainforest beckons.

Or if you're keen on taking a boat ride Antigua's marina will take you out to deep waters. Year round sunshine is a dead cert in Antigua, but the cooling island breeze stops it from becoming too hot and makes the climate more family friendly. Don't let the tropical showers put you off - they usually come in short bursts and can be a quite refreshing! An island that makes holiday dreams come true, Antigua is a destination that you'll never regret. Book your stay in this paradise for magical memories that will last a lifetime.

Top 5 things to do in Antigua

Beach Hopping

Experience the best beach hopping in the Caribbean at Antigua’s 365 beaches. Choose from quiet sandy stretches perfect for sunbathing with a good book, or if you’re up for something a little livelier, choose one of the popular resort beaches complete with bars, cafés and water sports.

Exploring nature

Climb the thick, green canopy of the rainforest for aerial explorations, perhaps even taking some tips from Tarzan with an afternoon of zip-lining, or take a hiking tour to learn what natural wonders the island keeps hidden at its heart.

Nelson's Dockyard

Visit one of Antigua's most famous attractions, the beautiful Nelson's Dockyard, a Georgian marina and cultural heritage site that you'll find in the English Harbour area. This national park is a step back in time for those wanting to learn some of the history of the island.

Barbuda Island

Take a trip to the untouched island of Barbuda for a real desert island experience. There are more indigenous frigate birds than people here and you’ll find yourself surrounded by beauty and tranquillity. That’s not to say there are no activities, try fishing, golf, tennis, snorkelling or diving.

Traditional cuisine

Don't forget to try Antigua’s national dish of fungie (similar to polenta), or lobster caught fresh in the waters of sister island Barbuda. Of course, it'd be rude not to sample the award winning English Harbour rum!
